SUMMARy

The purpose of this thesis Is to present a clear and
Interesting account of the history and ronptructlon of the first
Cnthollr- '^Pthedral in the United States, located at Cathedral
pnd Mulherry streets, Baltl'^ore, Maryland.

Maryland at the present time is celebrating i+s 30Tth
aAniversery am^d the s-lory of her historic buil dines which hi"ve
since made their deslfrners famoMF.

Amnnp the moFt famous, Is the Catholic Cathedral, Con-
F + ruction of the Cathedral vipe heprun in l^Ofi, hut the plans for
the Oath'=dral date ba^^k to 1^03. Provisions for t>^e buildlnpr of
a Catholic Cathedral in the United Sta + es were made 1n the hull
of Pnne Pius- VI in 17^^. The funds for the buildin" were de-
rived from two soumes; out of the r'nurr-h treasury, and by means
of lotteries. Three lotter^ep wn'^e held; one at the outset of
constru'^tl on in 1^00, another in 1^12 due to the denress^on of
1*^11 which oreceried the i^nr of l'^12, and a third beid in 1^19 for
the comoletion of the "^athedral.

hulldlns: was auarried In ^llicott City anci transported to the
buildinc site by ox -dravm carts. This was a slow and tedious
process .

HISTORy OF THT52 CATH^.DRAL

Rettlers that our early hlFtory of worship has to dRal with.

In the year 1752, the town of Raltln->re had about two
hundred inhabitants. In T775j there wpre shout 6,000 Inhabitants;
In 17T0, there were l'^,000 ^n^ahltante; and In 1^00, there were
26,000 Inhabitants. In the census taken In 170S by the E=herlffs
of the f^ountles there were 40,000 neonle \n the state of "aryland.
There were aporoxl mately 2,"i75 Oatholl'^F, fifty-three of whom
"lived ^r^ Bflltlmore county; there were five nrlests in the entire
ptste. The number of Cathollrs in tVie United States numbered
25,000 in 1^75. Fifteen thousand, inoTudinp- +>iree hundred ne-
f?roeF belonged to f'srylsnd: ' there were twenty-f1ve nrlests In
the United States at this time, and nineteen nrlests were In T^'ary-
land.

In I'^O'^, there were two Bishops and slxty-elp-ht nrlests
and only one Cathol Ir to every r1 xt^i^-ei R-ht Protestants In the

When The Catholic Cathedral
Towered Above The City

TN the above i;liuli;sidph Uk Cathe-
■*■ dial seems to occupy in the Bal-
timore of 1S39 the towering position
among the dwellings of the wealthi-
est part of the city that it always will
hold in tlie Catholic sentiment of
the country. The steel engraving
from which the photograph was
taken shows the "fountain head of
organized Catholicity'' in America in
the center of the populous parish,
the residents of which have beeonie
so few that Archbishop Michael J.
Curlcy has felt it necessary to start
an endowment fund for the main-
tenance of the building.
Buried under the dome of the

church are seven of the prelates who
have served as heads of the archdioc-
ese from 1789, when the Vtry Eev-
erend John Carroll, the first bishop
in the United States, was commis-
sioned by the Pope to build the
church, to 1921, when James Cardi-
nal Gibbons was buried there.

Although plans have been drawn
for a new cathedral to be built on
Charles Street avenue, it is neces-
sary to insure with some kind of an
endowment the continuance as a
parish church of the 123-year-»ld
shrine at Cathedral and Mulberry
streets.
